Thyristor Protection
Thyristor protection is needed to ensure that its specified ratings are not exceeded during its operation. We apply the following measures to protect the thyristor. di/dt Protection: When VAK> 0…

Thyristor Triggering Methods
We make use of various thyristor triggering methods to turn on the thyristor or to make the thyristor work in conduction mode of operation. When (voltage across anode and cathode)…
